One nation under God has all but been forgotten, brother hates brother for no reason at all. ****** and destruction reign in our streets, while children cannot read and go hungry. Our leaders rob us blind and promise us things they will never deliver. We hope for better only to get handed worse. One group takes from others to give away crumbs, while yet another hoards up wealth so vast it cannot be imagined. In days where light is fading and darkness is taking hold, There is no love between two strangers. No compassion can be found, nor can human kindness be measured. We all take what we need and leave nothing for another. There is no love only selfishness. The last light of mercy is fading and we are finding ourselves in a cold and meaningless existence because there is no love.
